Termite Control Companies in Texas

Termite control companies inspect for termites, treat the soil or the wood and check the result on later visits, and every company below offers termite treatment. Texas has 3 termite groups that matter to a homeowner: subterranean termites throughout the state, drywood termites more common in coastal areas such as Houston and Corpus Christi, and the invasive Formosan subterranean termite, concentrated on the upper Gulf Coast and reported in every major metro area. Termite swarms come in spring and early summer, as early as January or February in South Texas and not until April or May in the Panhandle.

Texas sets the paperwork for termite work. Only a person licensed in the termite category writes a termite estimate, and every written estimate comes with 3 disclosure documents before treatment: a diagram of the areas to be treated, the pesticide label and the full warranty details. Yearly retreatment for subterranean termites is not allowed without clear evidence of reinfestation or a disrupted barrier. Ask each company for its termite license number and what voids its warranty, before you sign.
